William GoldmanRead
Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on. It is about muddling through the middle.

Aldous HuxleyRead
The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that give us our own small satisfactions.

Flannery O'ConnorRead

Ralph Waldo EmersonRead
If you seek His help, be sure your life is clean, your motives are worthy, and you're willing to do what He asks-for He will answer your prayers. He is your loving Father; you are His beloved child. He loves you perfectly and wants to help you.
Richard G. ScottRead

Sri AurobindoRead
